| Autumn Fayre | |||||||||||||
| The Bressingham School Association (BSA) held an Autumn Fayre on Saturday 17th September 2011, in conjunction with welcoming their new Headteacher, Gavin King.
The weather was touch and go and the Tour of Britain came through Diss so this affected attendance but the event still managed to raise £500. The money hasn't been allocated for anything specific as yet, but will be added to the pot for this year's fundraising. All money raised is used to enhance the education of pupils at the school, be it buying equipment, funding educational outings or visitors to the school.
The Bressingham School Association (BSA) would like to thank everyone that helped to make this a successful event, especially Ladies' Club for running the Tombola, The Fire Service for bringing along a fire engine and Mervyn Lambert for kindly sending along a digger for the children to explore.

The Parish Plan Document has been delivered to each household in Fersfield and Bressingham. You can at last read what we have been compiling and, more importantly, what you residents’ think of your parish. It was important to us that the data was analysed independently, we did not want to unwittingly bias the results, so we employed a freelance editor and we feel totally confident in the information displayed. The action plans are identified and point us onto the next steps for developing our parish. Of course, some consider that this is when the real work starts but all the ground work and foundations are completed – it is top dressing from now on! We hope you enjoy reading your Plan. Many of the
residents of Bressingham and Fersfield
dodged the showers on Saturday to gather at
Fersfield Church. They were there to
show their support for the new Village Plan,
to offer ideas for the ten different Action
Groups and to register their willingness to
be involved. Cakes scones
and tea were on sale for village funds and
any children present were well entertained.
Liz Handy’s
photographs of the old rectories and school
houses of the two villages were on display,
along with portraits of their current
occupants, who no longer are the rectors or
the schoolteachers. The idea was to
show how much our lives have changed even
though, on the surface, much looks the same.
The villages today have much the same number
of people as they did eighty years ago, but
those people work and live very differently
from their predecessors. A plan
for their future is, therefore, both timely
and welcome.

| THE CHURCH MEADOW, FERSFIELD | |||||
| A new Management Committee has been formed in Fersfield which will be responsible for maintaining and making decisions regarding the Church Meadow. It is envisaged that the Meadow will continue to be used for local events and if funds can be raised, consideration be given to a children’s play area, natural wildlife area and a general area for sitting and enjoying the space, making it a great community facility for all ages and in line with data gathered from the Parish Plan questionnaire. Anyone wishing to contribute any help or information should email Sally Pankhurst or T: 01379 687498. | |||||
